Wordle Answer for 23 May 2026
Today’s Wordle #1799 answer is: CHUCK.
CHUCK is a versatile word with a surprisingly rich history. As a verb, it means to throw or toss something casually — “chuck it in the bin.” As a noun, it refers to a cut of beef taken from the shoulder area of a cow, popular in slow-cooked dishes like pot roast. It’s also a long-standing informal nickname for anyone named Charles, and in engineering, a chuck is the clamping device on a drill or lathe. The word likely derives from Old French choquer (to knock or bump), arriving in English by the 17th century.

How Did We Do Today?
Today’s puzzle sits at a medium difficulty level. CHUCK has a clean, satisfying shape, but the double C and the single vowel make it tricky to crack early on — players relying on vowel-heavy openers may burn through a few guesses before landing on it. If you got it in three or four, that’s a solid result. Share your score in the comments and let us know how many attempts it took!
